People often wonder why in the world we love Oklahoma, well this is one of the many reasons! The Wichita Mountain Refuge is less than 20 minutes outside of Lawton but it feels like a thousand. It is absolutely breathtaking! Sean, Nate and I decided to pack a picnic and go exploring this afternoon. The first stop we made was to one of the lakes. Nate loved it!
Nate really wanted to slide down the waterfall!
The lake had a very rocky terrain and Nate was in heaven!
Climbing all those rocks worked up an appetite. We found a wonderful picnic area (complete with bugs)! Next time I will remember to bring the Off!
After lunch we headed to what we call "prairie dog town". It is a spot off the road that has hundreds of hungry prairie dogs. We timed our arrival perfectly, buffalo were walking across the road to prairie dog town!
They were literally right outside our truck! Amazing!
After admiring the buffalo for awhile, we finally made it to the prairie dogs. Feeding the dogs is by far Nate's favorite thing to do. We brought two bags of their favorite treats, Nutter Butter cookies and they went wild!
I highly recommend this place! It was wonderful to get away and have family bonding time!
